Video: Nuggets Unveil 2023 NBA Championship Rings; Includes Retractable Banner

The first championship in Denver Nuggets history deserved quite the ring.

And it certainly delivered.

Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN shared some of the details about the jewelry that was given to the members of the franchise ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rings include 16 carats of diamonds for the 16 playoff wins it took to win the title, a silhouette of Denver's mountain peak and pickaxes logo, and a diamond-encrusted "Nuggets" in front of the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

As if that wasn't enough, there are 89 red rubies to represent the 89 points the Nuggets held the Miami Heat to during their championship-clinching Game 5.

It was designed by Jason Arasheben, who is the CEO of the jewelry house Jason of Beverly Hills and designed rings for the Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Vegas Golden Knights and Las Vegas Aces in the past.

"But the Nuggets' ring comes with two unique features, both firsts for Arasheben," Youngmisuk wrote.

"It has a lever at the top that shifts from 1967, the year the Nuggets were formed in the ABA, to 2023, simultaneously changing the color of the background from white diamonds to blue sapphires. A retractable compartment on the left side of the ring unveils the 2023 Nuggets championship banner raised at Tuesday's ceremony."

The unique ring represents a postseason of dominance for the Nuggets.

They defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the first round, eliminated the Phoenix Suns in six games in the second round and then swept the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals

That Lakers sweep may be the best memory for the fanbase, but the journey wasn't complete until Denver defeated the Heat in five games in the Finals.

Now Nikola Jokić and his teammates will be tasked with defending their crown at the start of the new season, but they got to celebrate one more time before starting a new journey.
